Rumour: Diego Sanchez vs. Sakurai

This is just a rumour at this point but it sounds like there might be something to it. Apparently a local radio station made the initial report.

Quotes from posts on Sherdog:

I spoke to Monica Lopez, who I'm not sure is in their sports department but (she) confirmed that Diego Sanchez is indeed, fighting Hayato 'Mach' Sakurai. Take that for what it's worth people.

i hope this happens. Sakurai's muay thai and judo skills need to be showcased on Sanchez.
